Villas-Boas blasts Chelsea over Di Matteo departure

Andre Villas-Boas, one of the nine managers to have been fired by Roman Abramovich during the Russian's nine years in charge of Chelsea, has hit out at the sacking of Roberto di Matteo yesterday.

Villas-Boas, now Tottenham manager, was let go by Abramovich in March this year having taken over the previous summer.

The former Porto coach lasted just 256 days in the hot seat at Stamford Bridge, 6 days less than the man who took over from him and guided the club to Champions League and FA Cup glory last term.

Di Matteo was sacked yesterday having overseen just two wins in Chelsea's last eight games, a poor run which culminated in the 3-0 defeat against Juventus in the Champions League which leaves their chances of qualifying for the next stage hanging by a thread.

Upon being unveiled as Spurs boss over the summer, Villas-Boas hit out at Abramovich and Chelsea for 'abandoning' him while he was in the proccess of remoulding the Blues' ageing squad - and now the 35-year-old has criticised his former employers once more by claiming that Di Matteo's departure is 'just another day in the office' for the Stamford Bridge-based club.
